Vitalik: The goal of Ethereum is to give humanity freedom, and extending the feedback loop between humans and AI is not a good thing

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform, stating that extending the feedback distance between humans and artificial intelligence is not a good thing. This trend often leads to AI generating low-quality content, rather than truly solving real human problems, and has not achieved good optimization even at the level of entertainment experience.

Vitalik further warned that once AI develops to a sufficiently powerful and potentially dangerous stage, such a developmental path could maximize the risk of irreversible anti-human outcomes, even causing regret among its proponents. The goal of Ethereum is to grant freedom to humanity, not to create a self-operating system that leaves human conditions unchanged or even worsened.

In addition, Vitalik Buterin pointed out that current mainstream models operate on centralized infrastructures such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which do not represent true self-sovereignty. This disregard for the assumption of centralized trust is contrary to the principles opposed by Ethereum.

The exponential growth trend of technology itself is difficult to stop, so the core task of the current era is not to further accelerate exponential expansion, but to guide its direction of development, avoiding the system sliding into uncontrollable or undesirable attractor states.
